Things we can do to make our world better

What Success Is

What Did I Know

There are many women who rocked the world: Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, Anne Frank, Sarah Bern-hardt, and Anne Sullivan

Men have more rights and priorities in society than women

What is to live a successful life?

That is so philosophical question and has no answer:

People can live a successful life by earning money, loving

someone, or making many friends. In my opinion, to live a

successful life is to devote oneself to achieve his/her life-

time goal. That is to say, to live a successful life, you need

to endeavor much more than other people who have the

same goal as you.

A Quote that Helen Keller Left

Helen Keller Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia Alabama. She was a

bright child who could walk and speak a few word before her first birth-

day. However, she became ill at nineteen months and the illness left her blind

and deaf. Because of that, she couldn’t learn how to speak and couldn’t un-

derstand what people are saying. However, there was a turning point of her

life; the Kellers hired Anne Sullivan as her teacher when Helen was sixteen.

Anne was also blind, but she was so smart that she learned quickly. She

knew how it feels, so she could teach Helen easily. She started teaching Hel-

en to read braille, to write, to type, and even to speak. At that time, the educa-

tion of people with disabilities was very controversial. Most people

thought that it was not possible and worthwhile to educate disabled people,

but Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan proved how ridiculous this idea was. After

that, Helen started attending regular schools and writing books. Her first

book, The Story of My Life, was published in 1903 and became a best-seller that

has been translated into over fifty languages. After that, she continued study-

ing and wrote many books. For her courageous work, she was awarded the

Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964. Helen and Anne broke down barriers

and stereotypes of education, discrimination, and disabilities together.

Finishing This Magazine (Bias)

Living a successful life. It sounds so difficult. However, you can live a successful

life easily! Make a goal. Start with a simple one. Then, try to achieve it! Let’s say

you’re doing a project. When you think that you finished the project, think. “Does

the result of my effort satisfy me?” If you think the answer is YES, don’t be happy

because people who live successful life don’t say like that. What if you thought the

answer is NO? Remember, the word “no” is not a negative word. If you thought

the answer is NO, that means you are already living a successful life. If you say

YES, you will stop doing that task (or the goal). But if you sasid NO, you will be

trying to find the problem and correct that. I think living a successful life is to de-

vote oneself to achieve his or her goal. I said “his or her” goal. Why did I use that

word? Because both men and women can live successful lives. Let’s don’t forget

our main title. The World We Want. There’s no difference between men and wom-

en. They are all human. If they (we) endeavor to achieve our goal, all of us can

live successful lives. The world we want is a world there’s no discrimination.
